parcels by right” Need to come back to this issue as there are too many issues.

Low to the ground.
Jem Frantz- LDC amendment eliminates inconsistencies in statute amendment and

make sure there are standards on the height. We talked about minor corrections (e.g.,
trees, shrubs, buffers). Confirm Height requirements.
Mr. Curl- Second
Further discussion ensues regarding existing standards in the Rural Agricultural Zoning

Mr. Brooker- Revised motion passes unanimously.
c. PL20250005043 – Group Housing Updates LDCA
Mr. Mulhere – Made a motion to approve and commended staff for being proactive in
terms of seeing that the market is demanding most of the time, things in PUDs and
floor area ratios are 0.60 anyway.
Mr. Brooker- He had a question regarding Page 3 lines 13 and 14- Increasing from 0.45,
except nursing homes, ALFs, continuing care facilities can have a FAR of 0.60, provided
that the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan allows for the greater
ratio. Are there limitations?
Ms. Medina- Yes, there are certain ones that we did find have limitations, like the
RFMUD, for example. Certain private amendments do as well. There were some that the
PUD doesn’t reference back to the LDC, so we wanted to make that clear, that if the
Future Land Use designation says 0.45, the LDC can’t allow (a greater FAR).
Mr. Johnson – They have to be consistent with each other.
Mr. Brooker- Where is it restricted to 0.45?
Ms. Medina- Receiving lands, neutral lands, within the rural village, within the
conservation designation, Buckley property and that settlement agreement. They don’t
have a PUD yet
Mr. Mulhere – That is a subdistrict of the rural fringe?
Ms. Medina- Yes, and in the agricultural and rural mixed-use district, there is a floating
subdistrict that has restrictions as well. Those were the ones we were able to find. All
the other ones, we were able to find public ones, but the PUD restricted it, so when they
come in to change their PUD, they would also have to change their corresponding
(indiscernible)
Mr. Brooker- Thank you. We have a motion to recommend approval by Bob
Mr. Curl- Second
Mr. Brooker- Motion to approved amended passes unanimously.
d. PL20250005475 – Mailed Notice Rural Agricultural Zoned Land LDCA
Mr. Mulhere- We have 500 ft. in urban area and 1000 ft. in Rural area.
5
Mr. Mclean- What I don’t understand on the160 acre parcel- it only notified property
owners at 1000ft and 9 lots but where is the notification taken from, the center or
perimeter of the parcel?
Mr. Henderlong- It’s measured from the perimeter of the parcel. Some residents of Sable
Palm Road did not get notified. He explained that the Board felt the current standard to
the notification process was inadequate, and they requested other various distances for
the mailed notice requirement be look at recommending it be one mile.
Mr. Mulhere- What is the one mile for, currently the Urban and Rural Golden Gate
Estates area. What are the other areas? Define what areas get and what distance. The
1,000 ft. only applies to designated rural AG.
Discussion on notification distances to rural and urban areas in collier county.
Mr. Henderlong- For urban AG zoned land in Pine Ridge subdivision, a commissioner
said a new property, the mailed distance was inadequate when compared to what other
communities are doing. He described the Pine Ridge property’s location. He said, the
board direction was to take the one-mile suggestion back and publicly vets the mailed
notice distance change. He presented other options to the mailed notice distances by
reference to Exhibit C. To assist the decision of a distance change, on pages 6 and 7,
mailed distances of other Florida communities were given for public consideration. He
noted, on page 7, Seminole County had distances based on acreage sizes, 5, 10, and
greater than 10 acres and a minimum number of parcels. Staff did not recommend this
standard.
Mr. Mulhere- So this is limited to the proposal of one mile to rural AG zoned lands
Ms. Cook- Provided a perspective on the new week Board agenda item at 341 Sabal Palm
that all of the surrounding lands are conservation land and the notice sign sizes are too
small to notify residents in Winding Cypress and Village Walk.
Mr. Booker and Mr. McClean-Noted the increase to one mile is costly with 5,680
notices at the Pine Ridge and Goodlette Rd. parcel
McClean- Motioned to suggest ½ mile
Mr. Mulhere- Seconded the motion
Mr. Brooker- Motion passed unanimously.
5. PUBLIC SPEAKERS
No additional public speakers. Noted in the section above.

5. STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS
a. Zoning Division – [Mike Bosi, Director]
• We have a couple petitions going to the Board on the 10th, two more on the 24th, and
two more on the 8th.
• Planning commission is canceled the entire month of June. We're only in one meeting
in July, one meeting in August.
• We have seven petitions that we're going to be dealing with.
• Two to three requests per week related to pre-application meetings for entitlement.
• The real estate market's a little bit more elongated than it was a couple years ago. I'm
not sure if that's a bad thing for this market, but we're holding tight and going to
concentrate on the projects that we do have in hand and providing you guys
exceptional service to make sure you can get your performance bonuses.
b. Community Planning & Resiliency Division – [Christopher Mason, Director]
• We have FEMA's auditing firm ISO in the house tomorrow to go through our three
year verification cycle visit for our CRS program. We submitted all of our data and
information a month ahead of time. This should be a simple walkthrough and look
around the County at some open space, some active projects to show what we're
doing is above board and correct. And we're hoping to keep that over $9 million that
we saved in the community.
• We're gearing up for hurricane season and happy to be on our way out of the drought.
3
Chairman Varian
Could you have Heather send us out the link to the most current FEMA webmaps? The link
on the website is broken.
Christopher Mason
We'll provide you with a link for the FEMA Map Service center and how you get to that
particular set of maps.
c. Housing Policy & Economic Development – [Cormac Giblin, Director]
• We have the housing plan LDC adoption hearing for the LDC amendments. They lost
last tranche of those changes. The comp plan was approved I think a couple years
ago. This is implementing LDC regulations. Those are on the Board's agenda for
Tuesday.
Mark McLean
There's a new Live Local sitting on the governor's desk. Are there changes we should be
aware of.
Cormac Giblin
The major change in that is that it would allow Live Local to be used in commercial and
industrial sections of PUD’s where previously it was unclear and our Board had taken a
position against it.
If the governor signs that, it would be allowed.
Mark McLean
Are we going to stay in Collier county with RMF 16 like our underlying zoning?
Cormac Giblin
The new law doesn't provide any additional direction on that. It would be a local decision
on whether RMF 16 continues to be the appropriate, most similar land use category that
we can go to.
Mark McLean
So that's something you'll visit or is it something the Board can visit.
Cormac Giblin
They already made the decision to go with RMF 16.
d. Development Review Division – [Jaime Cook, Director]
• Staffing updates. We're losing Kyle and our inspections team. His last day is next
Friday. We have hired an engineer to replace Josh's old position, and he has started.
Chairman Varian, to your question from last meeting. Lisa and I were looking at the
engineering reviews that are loading on remodel permits. As I mentioned to you, to
try to make sure if it was on a ground floor, there was no additional impervious being
added. But we're going to look at why they're auto loading on everything and see if
there's something we can do to.
4
We've reached out to Kirsten, and she's going to see if she can help us figure out why those
are loading on just basic remodels and some of these multifamily condos.
e. Operations Support & Regulatory Management Division – [Michael Stark,
Director]
• The Department received 4,696 permit applications with 52 related to Hurricane Ian
and 17 related to Hurricane Milton.
• Zoning front desk team resolved 918 survey conditions, processed 42 short term
vacation rentals and hosted 43 pre-application meetings, welcomed 1,015 customers to
the business center and 192 customers at the satellite offices.
• Last month we talked about the number of phone calls that were coming in and
dropped calls. We were able to lower that down now to 5653 phone calls with roughly
about only about 570 drop calls here or there.
• Average turnaround time for intake staff, which includes verifying submittals and
generating default reviews and inspections, remains less than one day.
• The department overall including Paradise Sports Complex, Domestic Animal
Services and Parks, has 623.5 positions with 49 of those in various stages of the hiring
pipeline. Many of these positions have opened due to promotional opportunities.
• Stephanie, our HR manager and Sandra Delgado, working with Emilio Vasquez from
the CBIA hosted our first of many recruitment events. That was positive news.
• We are taking a look at lessons learned from that event and reaching out a little bit
earlier, maybe taking a look at other locations throughout the County and timing as
well. It was at 6pm and unfortunately didn't have anyone RSVP to the event. But we
are looking at maybe making this a department wide recruiting event and taking a look
at some other options with maybe combining forces with some other agencies. We also
have our internship program.
• And last update would be for Mr. Jason Badge from our technology team, we're
making progress on the fee study with the intent to roll out these changes next fiscal
year as soon as we have a little bit more concrete results from that.
• We're in the information gathering process at this point and the City View software
team has been working the weekends so that we don't interrupt any regular business
during the week.
Chairman Varian
Are you looking into getting rid of the subcontractor paper submittal?
Michael Stark
That is correct.
Chairman Varian
Would you to consider allowing us to change it on the portal before any inspections are
done, because we might have to make an adjustment right up to the last point.
I'm having that problem right now with subs not being able to meet our deadlines causing
us to change that sub even though no inspections have happened yet.
Getting rid of the paper, you know.
5
Michael Stark
And that's our goal.
f. Building Review & Permitting Division – [John McCormick, Director]
• We're in the information gathering process at this point and the City View software
team has been working the weekends so that we don't interrupt any regular business
during the week.
• Our permit inspections are pretty steady right now and we are in the middle of a fee
study. We got a consultant onboard to help us with how we charge for things and
hopefully help our financial situation because we've lost money the last two years,
and have dipped into the reserves.
• There's a lot of reasons for that. We're trying to work on our efficiency on the back
end, but the fact of the matter is we're charging rates that we’ve had 10 years.
• I think we're close to hiring a plumbing chief who was an internal candidate but we
still have a lot of openings.
• Structural we lost a couple other guys to retirement inspectors.
• We still have open reviewers. In the interim, I've asked Chris in Resiliency talking to
Jamie about them helping us out with the floodplain reviews we traditionally did
within our group. We transferred some of those individuals under their wing because
they're the experts with when it comes to FEMA related issues and floodplain.
Chairman Varian
I got a correction letter on electrical, perfectly fine, submitted it back in and then
they came back and said, oh, by the way, there's one more item. I'm surprised they didn't
catch it because it was a simple little item. I'm starting to see a little bit of that come back
now. So now that second review is a third review. I don't like it.
John McCormick
My design team doesn't either. But I apologize. Maybe, they are not paying enough
paying attention. There's really no excuse for that. Call me directly if you have a problem.
Nicholas Kouloheras
• What's the timing of that?
John McCormick
• I'd like to get that in in August, so we can institute it for next year October 1st in front
of the Board. We're looking ahead, saying, we’re out of money halfway through the
year.
• A lot of its inefficiency. I think I mentioned this last time, that we need to restructure.
• What some other Counties do that charge for things we normally don't charge for.
• You know, we have a lot of inefficiencies and things we haven't been charging for. So
that might be part of this fee study.
g. Collier County Fire Review – [Michael Cruz, Captain]
No Report
6
h. North Collier Fire Review – [Bryan Horbel, Captain]
• I am proud to announce that we had 200 more plan reviews this month. So I'm glad
we added those two extra Reviewers.
• We had a total of 820 permits in for review last month and the previous month. We
weren't able to make it, but we had 818 the month prior. So two busy months for our
team with still a two day turnaround for our permits. That's pretty impressive.
• Plan review numbers for Planning permits were 79 for the month of May and we had
a total of 1400 new construction inspections.
• We have 9 total projects just in North Collier district that are currently on a TCO
awaiting paperwork or whatever the issues, but waiting for COs.
Chairman Varian
How you doing on your inspection side as far as Same next day, next day,
Captain Horbel
• Next day. And we're getting ready to bring in 3 more people because we have some
retirements coming up. We're trying to fill some positions before they become vacant.
• We are 100 up to date on our existing building inspections.
i. Code Enforcement Division – [Thomas Iandimarino, Director]
• Ford?? Association of Code Enforcement is our accrediting agency that supports
Code Enforcement in and we are having a face fundamentals class here in Naples in
July. It took some effort coordinating the State to come down and teach but we're
going to be able to have 11 of our staff in that class. It is $650 per person and the
amount of money we're saving on traveling per diem to not send them out is about 8
to $12,000, depending on which hotel they stay in.
• We're hosting it up at Heritage Bay with a total of 35 from other parts of the State
including our 11.
j. Public Utilities Department – [Claudia Vargas]
No updates.
k. Transportation Management Services, Transportation Engineering – [Lorraine
Lantz, Manager]
• Mike Sawyer was here a couple months ago about Access Management. We have that
going forward to the Board of County Commissioners for the July 8 board meeting
• FDOT is having a public hearing for their I-75, their PD&E project on I-75 from Gold
Gate Parkway to Corkscrew Road.
• The DDI (Divergent Diamond Interchange) at I-75 and Immokalee has a meeting
August 14th at North Collier Regional Park. It's their PD&E public hearing and
basically their kickoff as it moves to design and construction.
• We're having our public meeting for the Golden Gate Parkway corridor congestion
study August 21st at the Golden Gate Community Center.
• The Tiger Complete Street grant project has been completed. The 20 miles of
sidewalks, etc.

6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Group Housing Updates LDCA
Josephine Medina, Planner III, GMCD
Good afternoon, Josey Medina, with the LDC section. I want to make sure that it was
reported that the LDR subcommittee did recommend approval without any changes.
I don't think that was updated within your packet.
Chairman Varian motioned to approve the amendment
Blair Foley seconded
Motion passed unanimously
b. Mailed Notice Rural Agricultural Zoned Land LDCA
Richard Henderlong, Planner III, GMCD
This is a Board directed item that has been brought to the Subcommittee. We did an
analysis of six different parcels on mailed notice distances and determined that on page 8
of Exhibit C the column of varying distances all the way from a quarter mile, half mile up
to 3 quarters mile and a mile. The subcommittee made the recommendation that they'd
like to see a half mile be the new standard for rural agricultural land that's being rezoned
and conditional uses. He noted that the Board is maintaining a one-mile notification
distance while the subcommittee voted to approve a one-half mile notification distance.
Robert Mulhere
He understood that only nine people were notified on a recent rezone off of Sabal Palm
Road and people had showed up saying the notification was inadequate. He said the
subcommittee saw that the difference between one-half mile and a mile notification was
pretty significant in costs. He motioned to stay with the subcommittee’s recommendation
and approved the amendment to one-half mile.
Mark McLean seconded the motion.
Motion passed unanimously
c. Solar Facilities and Electrical Substations LDCA
Jem Frantz, RVI, Planning and Landscape Architecture
• This is a privately initiated LDC amendment. I have a Power Point presentation with
some changes that occurred from between the DSAC LDR Subcommittee
recommendation and today.
• The existing LDC does not address solar facilities, and chapter 163 was amended
recently to allow solar facilities in all ag districts and ag land use categories
• It does include some limitations on the types of ordinances or the types of items that
can be included in ordinances by Counties. We've tried to stay limited to what the
Statute allows, but we did also incorporate a few changes that address typical or
regular comments that we get during staff reviews.
• We've worked with staff to narrow these issues and provide language that both staff
and the applicant agree on.
8
Tal Berman, Renewable Developer with FPL
• He discussed what a solar facility is, what FPL has been doing in the State of Florida,
and what we're proposing here.
• FPL to date has 108 solar sites across the state of Florida. In Collier County, we have
one operational solar site that's the Immokalee Solar Energy Center. It was
operational in 2022. Currently we have two additional solar sites under construction
about 1 mile west of Immokalee.
• Each of these sites is 74.5 megawatts. So, what that equates to is around 15,000
homes for each site.
• The intent of these images is to show that each one of these 74.5-megawatt site is
developed on agriculturally zoned properties, typically around 450 to 500 acres,
larger farmlands. These solar panels are put on previously farmed land. We're taking
the crops that were there, removing them and putting in solar panels.
• The piles are driven down into the ground. Photovoltaic panels are placed on top of
the piles. These are very low impact, low to the ground, when tilted at max height
they are approximately seven feet high on previously farmed lands. What FPL has
been doing is to avoid wetlands and native vegetative habitats and look for previous
farmed crops for solar installations. The properties are primarily owned by FPL.
Jem Frantz
• The other portion of the amendment addresses electric substations. Similarly, the
existing regulations are not consistent with state law. The changes have been in place
for a couple of years. They are working through implementation with state law. It will
allow for electric substations on a lot of the land uses throughout the county but with
a few exceptions. There are specific standards for landscaping.
An overview of the request to comments was summarized by adding new definitions,
new sections, updating list of uses in Essential Services section and Agricultural
District, and added exemptions and alternative standards from SDP requirements.
• Changes were made based on staff’s recommendations received after a meeting and
are outlined in the handout. He addressed the changes from staff regarding
grammatical correctness and revision to standards for not producing glare for airport
or vehicular traffic.

• Electric substation is being defined to include accessory administration or
maintenance buildings. An administration building is not an accessory to a substation
but a primary use. Is an administration building for the operation of an electric
substation subordinate or accessory to the equipment that is considered an essential
service? Where it’s listed as an essential service, the electric substations will now
include accessories and related uses. Related uses are not subordinate. They could be
an administration building. She asked for clarification.

Jem Frantz
• They started the language according to the state statue. They will double check it. It’s
not their intention to have an administration building where employees come and
have offices but rather related to the operation of the substation. There needs to be
some clarification.
Mr. McClean
• He noted the subcommittee talked about it. There is a storing of energy that can be
sizeable batteries. The underlying zoning district has a two-story maximum building
height and the underlying zoning restrictions would control where and how high to
build a battery storage building.
Laura Spurgeon DeJohn
• She has been discussing use conflicts rather than dimensional criteria, where essential
service infrastructure is needed and an administration building within a neighborhood
is not needed.
• The statute identifies administration buildings as the State law allows. But we need to
determine what the State is defining as an administration building, a primary or
accessory use
• Her recommendation was to move it forward with language referencing
administration buildings to be specific to accessories, not just related use and that
administration buildings are unmanned.
• She moved it forward subject to adjustments to the language regarding administration
buildings and to define the limitations on the administration buildings being
referenced in the code.
Laura Spurgeon DeJohn motioned to approve with adjustments to the language and
defining limitations on administration buildings
Mark McLean seconded
Motion passed unanimously
d. Culvert Alternate in County Right of Way (ROW)
Jaime Cook
• On the last page of your agenda packets, there is some information from Jeff Curl.
What I believe he is looking for is for the ability to install a French drain system
across the driveway portion of the right of way. Code only allows for asphalt,
concrete and pavers. So this would be a change.
• We had been working through the DSAC subcommittee for the right of way manual
updates and we can schedule a follow up meeting with them if this is something that
you guys would like to explore as a Committee. Unless Lori has any serious recurring
concerns, I'll reach out to those subcommittee members and see if we can schedule a
meeting and have that discussion.

• Two public workshops to discuss extraordinary circumstances.
3
• Increased to be approved by unanimous vote of the governing body vs 2/3 requirement from

Extraordinary circumstances would be the following:
• High growth rate/permitting.
• Outdated or artificially low fees due to past policies.
• High-Cost increases.
• A list of unfunded projects that need additional funding.
Discussion on School impact fees
Impact fees are county wide, they do not differ by location or area.
74% of permitting is for single family homes, 23% multi family.
Majority of projected growth and future building will be east of 951. Land cost was based off
current price of $75K per acre when the cost east of 951 is $23k-$25k per acre.
Board requests clarification from Benesch- for how they arrived at their land cost projections. Gino to
clarify with consultant.
Board requests clarification from Benesch- on why cost for Charter schools is not in report. Gino to
clarify with consultant.
Board suggests consultant meeting with them by Zoom or in person to go over report and answer
questions at one of their next meetings. Gino will follow up with consultant for available dates and
times.
Collier County is at 79% of impact fee allocated since 2015 for schools. 1 High school and 2 middle
schools have been built using funds solely from impact fees.
Reviewed Projected revenue (2026-2030) - slide
School board decided not to go with the extraordinary circumstances. They are moving forward with
State Statute CAP of 50%.
• Next steps- Recommendations to Board of County commissioners and Implementation
process.
• Mr. Mulhare- Confirmed they will not be making any motions today. Just reviewing
presentations, gathering information and will make a decision at a later date.

2024
• Impact fees for fast food are $210,000.
• Command center for Hurricanes included in impact fee projections when there are no plans to
build a new one. Mr. Valle asked for clarification why. If removed the impact fee would drop
by 28%. Page 6 table 1.
• Projected growth would not require a new command center.

be more heavy in residential areas.” Referenced again that the majority of the growth will be
